Résumé
"This compendium addresses government and non-government actors, decision-makers, and practitioners working in crime prevention at all levels (national, regional and local). It provides many examples of initiatives that can help to inform and inspire practices from around the world. The practices place particular emphasis on process and implementation of activities, including information on partnership, outcomes, sustainability, and in some cases, they describe various lessons learned. At the same time, we continue to recognise that this is an evolving area, and what works well in one context may not always be easily transferable to another."--Page III.
